4.0 out of 5 stars Another Terrific Book!!, May 15, 2003

By	M. Waters "musiclover13" (Maryland) - See all my reviews

"Crimson Shadows," the third book by Trisha Baker featuring the characters Simon Baldevar and his consort/wife, Meghann O'Neill mainly revolves around the lives of of their twins, Elizabeth and Mikal. Elizabeth is the mortal, loving, and normal child while Mikal is an evil vampire-born creature that is the realization of the philosopher's stone. Simon originally got Meghann pregnant to produce the philosopher's stone knowing that this vampire child would be able to walk in daylight and possess powers that other vampires could only dream of possessing.

There is a lot of violence, mainly on the account of Mikal and his desire to seek and destroy his family starting with Simon, but there is also a lot of love shared between the other characters. While this book was not as exciting as the previous two, there was much action and suspense. The book also showed Simon, a ruthless killer in the previous books, as a loving father, whose heart had been so hardened, softened to a degree when the lives of his daughter, wife, and friends were in jeopardy.

I would highly recommend this book, especially to those who have read "Crimson Kiss" and "Crimson Night". "Crimson Shadows" is a good continuance of an incredible story with some surprises that will leave you shocked! I hope Trisha Baker continues with this series because she definitely leaves you wanting more and mores from these intriguing characters!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Crimson Shadows, April 17, 2004

By	"ranranami" (Cibolo, TX USA) - See all my reviews

A story of passion, murder, incest, and much more. A good read, and deffinitely a reccomendation for those who have read the first two, or those who are fans of the vampire erotica, a quickly rising class of books with a great mixture of romance and action.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Feelings 3-1/2 stars, February 13, 2003

By	Cheryl Robinson (USA) - See all my reviews

The first chapter of the book lived up to my expectations. For the next 100 or so pages (even though it was well written) I was a little disappointed and sometimes bored with the story of Ellie & Jimmy because it lacked the same action and intensity as the first two books. I thought Crimson Shadows would pick up with the story of Meghann & Simon's twins Ellie & Mikhail. I would like to have known more about Mikhail's life as I read about Ellie & Jimmy. However, once the book focused on Mikhail, it was full speed ahead. Hair-raising horror -- I thoroughly enjoyed the second half of this book. Ms Baker has flair and style and inasmuch as this is the third book in the series, it is worth reading.
